Well. I don't know how smart Sora was, but you're right about Margaret. [ok wow rude throné] ... We'll figure it out. I don't think any of the effort we spend during these trials is strictly based on luck.
[ HELP. all brains are big compared to ichiban's... ]
... When you think about it, it's kind of weird we're able to figure stuff out in the first place, isn't it? Almost like the killer wants to get caught. [ ... ] Or maybe I'm just being a little too optimistic, thinking that there's gotta be some kind of logical explanation for everything.
[ he just sighs as he drags a hand down his face and leans against her again. ]
Never thought I'd say it, but I think I actually kind of miss when I could solve most of my problems by punching the right guys until I got to the bottom of things.
[she shifts to allow him to do this, and absently brings a hand up to run through his hair once or twice. it's a little gesture she's picked up after a few weeks of being here.]
... Hm. I don't miss solving my problems with a knife, but I do agree that it would be easier. [ok] I'll be relying on you tomorrow, Ichiban. We may need the punch. You never know.
Ah, no, it's fine with kids! [ THAT MAKES IT SOUND WORSE ] But, like, between two adults, that's kind of... well, you only really do it if you're... i-involved.
[ AAAAAAA ]
But that could also just be me being close-minded? Because if it's normal for you to do with someone you're close with... well, who am I to tell you to stop?
... If it makes you uncomfortable, I won't. I wasn't thinking very hard about it. [he just leaned on her and it was instinctive because she's touch-starved]

Y-yeah. We're down two big brains, too—even I know last week was a million-to-one shot that we somehow just... stumbled into.

in case you forgot
ichiban is literally a 46 year old virgin
so once he feels throné's gentle fingers in his hair, he turns so fuckin red and startles, just short of scrambling away from her. ]
N-Necchan?!

she blinks at him like ??? as she pulls her hands away from him hurriedly?]
... What? [she's absolutely like did i do something wrong...]

[she absolutely would not know because you have seen her backstory]

Like I said, it's fine now that I get where you're coming from. And...it means a lot, actually, that you're that chill with me. Heheh.
no subject
[she says it like she's not familiar with the slang but she's trying]
no subject
[ it... is fine now. he's relaxed again, if she does want to try again. ]
It's kind of an extra special privilege too. I'm actually pretty sensitive about my hair.
